Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Been checking in regularly since i got my latest TRX in January but haven't seen any posts from Mincehead at all. Always found his opinions useful/funny/interesting, anybody know what he's up to these days?

I know he moved back down south from Edinburgh over a year ago. Occasionally he posts on Faceache. I too miss his informative and funny posts

Been a few years now...yeah, he wasn't shy..

Allo playmates.

Yes new old lady in my life and new biking pastures with some VERY old friends so I`m a busy, busy bloke.
TRX has been in limbo too long and it`s all to do with funds. It ain`t cheap moving everything you own 500 miles, six bikes, steel workbench, tools upon tools, 1200 cd`s 150 vinyl albums, some seriously expensive hi-fi and a holdall of t-shirts and combats. All done with ONE 7.5 tonner driven through the night.
Dandy let me know via Faceburp that peeps had been asking after me so I thought I had better drop by.
I WILL try to be here a tad more, promise.
Oh, the Barking Donkey is now running 1/4 miles in 13.6 seconds, still on std bores but a fair bit of head work and some carb and exhaust mods, I`m actually running around on the drag pipe still, haven`t had time to `quieten` it back yet as the Bulldog was only a couple of weeks back. I`m also hoping to change jobs soon, get some better pay and spend it on sorting bikes, I`ve plenty to do including finishing a tuned Sachs Madass 125 for my good lady.

Look forward to a contraversial opinion or two then. Still won't be seeing eye to eye on that bloody egg chucking game though.

Glad you're back, been wondering where your ugly mug went

it`s got a few more natural highlights around my facial fluff but no uglier, YET!
Oh for these days back, slim, handsome, and a MK1 Guzzi Lemon:

Last year with my good lady, visiting East Fortune with a t-shirt sent to me by Mr Stankflapper:

Ahhhh .... the lady has good taste in music I see!

Or works as an electrician....

Yes, impeccable taste in music and she actually DID make looms for a while in her employment history.

Another audio nut mate????
Made a few drum looms in her time hey...

Looms for cabinets, that contained all kinds of calibration equipment I believe.

Hmph, consider yourself OFF the Christmas card list!
